We explored California
Syrah, as distinct from Petite Sirah, Australian Shiraz,
etc. The overall effect of this tasting was to decide
that we simply are not drinking enough of this varietal.
Syrah offers very enjoyable and unique complexities and
the general level of quality displayed by this group of
wines was excellent, with some great value "sleepers".
They partnered well with the selection of cheeses and
grilled sausages Chris Mariscotti served to
accompany.
